Homophobes

John Amaechi, the former NBA basketballer who recently came out and is promoting his book Man in the Middle, is looking for some love. He's definitely not getting it from the NBA.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Shavlik Randolph said he would be fine with having a gay team-mate as long as a player did not bring his "gayness" on him.

LeBron James - one of the biggest stars in the NBA players and a member of Amaechi's former team, the Cleveland Cavaliers - said when asked if a gay player could survive in the league,

"With team-mates, you have to be trustworthy, and if you're gay and you're not admitting that you are, then you are not trustworthy."

The Human Rights Campaign is using him as their spokeman for coming out, but the still single Nigerian/English sex pot is looking for some young stud to grab on that magic stick. Any takers? Please call 1(800) I HEART GAY NBA.

Former NBA player Tim Hardaway gave a telephone interview responding to NBA player John Amaechi coming out of the closet. The comments were made on the Dan Le Batard show on 790 The Ticket Wednesday afternoon in Florida.

"First of all I wouldn't want him on my team," said Hardaway. "Second
of all, if he was on my team I would really distance myself from him
because I don't think that's right and I don't think he should be in
the locker room when we're in the locker room."

Le Batard took
Hardaway to task, pointing out that his comments were 'flatly
homophobic' and bigoted, but that only seemed to stir up the former
point guard.

"Well, you know, I hate gay people," Hardaway said
in response to Le Batard. "I let it be known I don't like gay people. I
don't like to be around gay people. I'm homophobic. It shouldn't be in
the world, in the United States, I don't like it."
